Root Canal Treatment Service
Root canal treatment consists of several steps that take place over
several office visits, depending on the situation. These steps are: An
opening is made through the back of a front tooth or the crown of a
molar or pre-molar.After the diseased pulp is removed (a pulpectomy),
the pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped in
preparation for being filled.If more than one visit is needed, a
temporary filling is placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth
between dental visits.The temporary filling is removed and the pulp
chamber and root canal permanently filled. A tapered, rubbery material
called gutta-percha is inserted into each of the canals and is often
sealed into place with cement. Sometimes a metal or plastic rod is
placed in the canal for structural support.In the final step, a crown is
usually placed over the tooth to restore its natural shape and
appearance. If the tooth is very broken down, a post may be required to
build it up prior to placing a crown.
